Tomorrow Night Town Sacrifice 6

Hearing Chen Zemin's words, Master Heyu's ferocious face changed slightly.

But in just a moment, the relaxation in his eyes was replaced by hatred.

Chen Zemin, who was next to Chu Li, did not give up. He kept muttering Juanwa's name and saying some confusing words that she could not understand.

Judging from the stalemate between the two, Chu Li felt that He Yu had already lost his mind, and no amount of persuasion from the mayor could move him.

However, just a moment passed by in her mind, and she saw He Yu raise the knife again and put it against Juanwa's neck excitedly.

A red wound appeared on the child's fair skin, and blood slowly flowed out.

Without waiting for Chen Zemin or any of the residents to stop him, He Yu suddenly spoke up: "If you want me to release this child, no problem. But I have one condition."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Zemin, who had already been crying uncontrollably, instantly raised his head from despair and responded repeatedly: "As long as you ask, I will definitely be able to satisfy your desire."

"Chen Zemin, you'd better not lie to me." He Yu smiled coldly, and then continued to add, "I don't ask for much, I just want the mayor's seal in your hand."

Greedy's words were so powerful that everyone present looked embarrassed and extremely surprised.

Everyone clearly understands that the mayor's seal means a lot to everyone.

This is the symbol of authority of the entire town. If it is handed over to someone else so openly, it means that the entire town has changed hands.

The mayor himself was not elected by the townspeople, but was forced to do so.

He Yu naturally cannot convince the public.

He is crazy and extremely irrational. He has killed so many women and children under the guise of sacrifice. If he really becomes the mayor, the entire town will be slaughtered by him.

Chu Li frowned, she couldn't let things go on like this.

She took a deep breath and prepared to confront Hehe Yu head-on.

Suddenly, Chen Zemin next to him spoke first and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you."

"You can't do this!" Chu Li immediately stopped him upon hearing this response. She raised her hand and pointed at the townspeople standing behind her, lowering her voice and continuing to persuade, "I can let my furry friend and He Yu deal with it and seize the opportunity to rescue Juanwa, instead of sacrificing the entire town and all its residents!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a smile appeared on Chen Zemin's old face, which was wet with rain, without any sense of crisis at all.

Chu Li wondered if the old man was frightened silly by the three monks. Even at such a dangerous moment, he still had the mood to laugh.

"Thank you, young man, that's enough."

After saying that, Chen Zemin walked towards Heyu resolutely.

Chu Li, who took everything in, felt very complicated at the moment.

She could not quite understand Chen Zemin's decision which was so disregarding of the overall situation.

But at this moment, there seemed to be no other better options. She couldn't fight, and You Chengze hadn't fully recovered yet, so Chu Li wouldn't consider him anyway. As for the furry group behind her, it was even more impossible for her, who loved animals like her life.

Chu Li sighed heavily.

In the next frame, He Yu's crazy laughter was heard.

She looked in the direction of the sound.

He Yu was clutching the mayor's seal between his fingers, his gaze consumed with greed. He caressed it delicately, caressing it as if it were a precious treasure, and then raised his lips slightly, letting out a chuckle of delight.

"I've waited so many years, set up a trap for over a decade, just to lure you, an old bastard, into handing over the mayor's seal." He Yu muttered, his eyes bloodshot and frantic. "If I had known I could get it by kidnapping a useless grandson like you, I wouldn't have gone to all that trouble to have you perform sacrifices under the guise of praying for rain! But it doesn't matter. These undead souls will serve as a memorial to my deceased master! The path to immortality... I'll soon understand it!"

He Yu laughed heartily, the veins in his neck bulging, his face flushed with joy. His two fellow apprentices, Luo Yu and Xiang Yu, laughed just as loudly, as if they were about to accomplish something magnificent.

Chu Li was confused at the moment.

The next moment, she felt a gust of wind passing by her ear, and something heavy flew past her ear.

Then, she heard Master Heyu's screams.

Seeing He Yu's inertia of withdrawing his hand, Juanwa was freed. Chen Zemin, who was closest to the child, immediately picked up Juanwa in his arms, turned him over, and retreated to a safe area.

Chu Li breathed a sigh of relief, and the next second, she saw You Chengze walking up from behind her, his slightly thin back covering her body.

She lowered her eyes and noticed the slingshot held in You Chengze's handsome hands.

This man...

Why do you always do things that make people's heart beat faster unexpectedly?

"Interesting, he's still so arrogant even when he's about to die."

He Yu sneered, then exchanged a glance with his two younger brothers, seemingly communicating something.

Chu Li felt inexplicably nervous again, but unexpectedly, before a moment had passed, the three evildoers turned around and immediately ran towards the town gate.

As the backs of the three people gradually blurred, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

The same is true for Chu Li.

She had been on edge for a long time, terrified of seeing blood. Now that the most serious crisis was over, her legs couldn't help but feel weak.

Glancing at You Chengze who slowly turned around in front of her, she pretended to be calm and forced a smile at the man.

The man in front of her glanced at her indifferently, then walked straight towards the furry figure behind her.

Chu Li: ...

He saved himself.

He just doesn't know how to express his enthusiasm.

She endured it.

"Juanwa...don't sleep, don't sleep...Grandpa will take you to see a doctor..."

The sound of Chen Zemin crying interrupted Chu Li's thoughts.

She turned and looked over.

Chen Zemin was seen hugging the unconscious Juanwa and crying bitterly.

The child's condition is quite bad. He was already malnourished, and now he has lost too much blood. If he is not treated immediately, it is unlikely that he will wake up.

Chu Li realized this and called the Ragdoll Cat over to help without thinking.

The little puppet was very well-behaved. He understood Chu Li's temper, and quickly took steps with his legs and ran towards Juanwa.

Seeing the wound on the little boy's arm gradually healing under the treatment of the little doll, Chu Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, Juanwa slowly came back to consciousness.

After he saw the person in front of him clearly, he could no longer hold back and threw himself into Chen Zemin's arms, crying loudly.

The mayor loved his grandson very much. He stroked his head tenderly and coaxed the little boy with soft words. Only when his crying gradually subsided did Chen Zemin look at Chu Li, who had remained silent on the side.

He slowly stood up, walked to Chu Li, and said with a choked voice: "Benefactor... Thank you, benefactor. Thinking of what I said to you before, I really don't have the face to see you..."

As the mayor spoke, he was about to kneel down.

Chu Li was quick to support the mayor. She sighed softly and said soothingly, "You were also blinded by those three monks. It's not your fault. Don't take it to heart."

At first, Chu Li was really furious. He had his water stolen and was driven out of town for no apparent reason. That would have been fine, but when he climbed over the wall and got in, these residents arrested him without any reason.

At that time, she really wanted to denounce the ignorance of these people.

But later she escaped from the detention room after a narrow escape, and encountered a lot of trouble from He Yu and others. She felt sympathy and distress for this group of small town residents, just like she had felt for the people in the old feudal society.

Sometimes, people always encounter external factors that are beyond their control.

When you don't know the direction and whether to fight for your choice, following the crowd seems to be the best option.

Chu Li withdrew his distant thoughts and comforted Chen Zemin with a few words.

Then he thought of something and asked, "Who are those three monks?"

Hearing this, Chen Zemin sighed heavily.

He handed the sleeping baby to the old man behind him and began to reminisce.

More than ten years ago, a group of uninvited guests broke into Mingye Town. They occupied the entire town and all the women.

The invaders came with great force and killed people without blinking an eye.

Chen Zemin took this group of people to hide from here and there, but still couldn't escape from them.

Juanwa's parents were tortured to death by these invaders.

At that time, Chen Zemin and many residents were imprisoned underground, desperately waiting for the invaders to pronounce their death.

Just when everyone thought they were in a desperate situation and there was no hope, Lu Qi came to the rescue with He Yu and others, and drove away the group of bullies in no time.

To thank Lu Qi for his help, Chen Zemin and all the townspeople built a private house for him, begging him to stay and protect the town.

Lu Qi's health condition was extremely poor at the time.

He originally traveled to find a good place to spend his last days.

Seeing that the scenery here was beautiful, he decided to live here with the three Heyu brothers.

But before he had even lived there for a full month, he received the bad news.

Master Luqi vomited blood and died.

Chen Zemin led everyone to bury Master Luqi in Houshan.

After the event, the three Heyu brothers disappeared mysteriously.

Chen Zemin originally wanted to take people to look for it, but the sudden drought interrupted their plan. They had no choice but to pray for rain.

About half a year later, the three missing Heyu brothers returned here and sincerely told Chen Zemin that he could help the town solve the drought problem.

Chen Zemin agreed without hesitation, but he never imagined that the man would actually use the oldest sacrificial method to pray for rain, and the sacrifice was the blood of baby girls or women born in the twelfth month of each year.

At that time, Chen Zemin also believed his words and sent people to capture matching children and women.

I repeated this for an unknown period of time, but there was no effect.

He Yu said that it was because the time was not right.

So they could only endure the drought and wait for the opportunity.

When the day finally arrived, Chen Zemin and all the residents were already impatient. They were eager to get rid of the water shortage, but they never expected to be interrupted by two uninvited guests, Chu Li and You Chengze.

This is what happened next.

When Chen Zemin said these words, his eyes were filled with infinite regret and guilt towards Chu Li and others.

Chu Li understood the whole story and asked, "Then why did he want to get the mayor's seal?"
